The towers you described are 2050 ft MSL. Big, tall, sticks protruding from the ground in places that are less than desired. The MSA for the LOC/DME approach is 2700 ft (3100 for the RNAV) so that gives us a 650 ft buffer. Not a lot of room for discrepancies. Better make sure the altimeter is set and the pilot is alert. These protruding creatures are found on the sectional at the 10 nm ring for DAY (Cox Intl.) at the southern portion just north of MGY, our base airport for the SOAPA fly-in.

Big thanks to Jerry for scouting the FBO and facilities for us at Wright Brothers Airport (MGY). Stay tuned for more information on the 50th Anniversary of the Skymaster event.
